Description

Antique Japanese Ranma, Wood, 1920s, Showa Era (SKU 24N-161-2)

Fine sugi wood ranma with delicate vertical kumiko lattice

This antique Japanese ranma panel showcases the quiet refinement of traditional carpentry, with a field of closely spaced vertical kumiko slats framed by a warm, honey-toned border. Originally installed above sliding doors in a washitsu (tatami room), such transom panels allowed light and air to circulate while maintaining privacy and a harmonious rhythm within the interior.

The simple, linear composition recalls classic Taishō and early Shōwa design, making this piece ideal for both restoration projects and contemporary spaces seeking an authentic Japanese accent. Hung horizontally as wall art, integrated into a shoji-style partition, or adapted as a headboard or room divider element, this wooden ranma brings subtle texture and a sense of calm craftsmanship to any setting.

  • Origin: Japan
  • Era: Taishō–early Shōwa period (circa 1920s)
  • Material: Solid softwood (likely sugi/cedar) with fine kumiko lattice
